Q: I want to tear down a plaster wall dividing two small closets to make one large closet in my 1892 apartment. While I am at it, I would like to tear out my side of the plaster wall separating my neighbor and I, to add insulation to keep out the sound... from all the fun they are having. I have heard a lot of mixed thoughts about tearing down a plaster wall, adding insulation and replacing the wall with drywall. What should I do?
